Trump, in 2020 Election Preview, Pushes Republican Candidates in Tuesday
Voting

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - There are scattered key elections in the U.S. on Tuesday,
   with President Donald Trump campaigning for Republican candidates in
   hopes of shoring up his own political standing a year ahead of his
   re-election contest.

   Trump, with polls showing widening disapproval ratings from voters
   nationally and facing an impeachment inquiry in Washington, heads
   Monday night to the mid-south state of Kentucky, where he won easily in
   the 2016 national election that sent him to the White House and remains
   popular.

   Whether his Republican allies win there and elsewhere could signal how
   voters feel about him as he looks to the Nov. 3, 2020, national
   election against a Democratic challenger that won't be picked for
   months.
